With much of it named to the National Register of Historic Places, Jo Daviess County offers visitors a wealth of well preserved 19th century storefronts, homes, churches, hotels, train depots, town halls, cemeteries and other historic points of interest, all found along historic Main Streets and scenic country roads. Apple River East Dubuque Located on historic Stagecoach Trail, once a stagecoach route from Chicago to Galena, Apple River was established by the Illinois Central Railroad in 1854. This little village, surrounded by dairy farms and corn fields, still reflects the atmosphere and charm of rural Illinois. The Millville historic site is located within the Apple River Canyon State Park. And the beautifully landscaped grounds of Oak Hill farm are a popular location for destination weddings. The property is home to a charming, restored 1860s church that seats 200 and a restored one-room schoolhouse that was built in the 1850s. East Dubuque clings to the Mississippi bluffs and spreads along its flats. The 7,392-foot Julien Dubuque Bridge, named for one of the community’s first settlers, remains one of the longest tied-arch and cantilevered spans ever built. Some of East Dubuque’s first permanent settlers are laid to rest in the Frentress Family Cemetery, and Gramercy Park is the site of 26 ceremonial and burial mounds from the Hopewell Native American culture. The city also boasts a grand example of fine Italianate architecture. Built in 1867, this painstakingly renovated mansion is now an elegant bed-and-breakfast. Elizabeth Galena Elizabeth, with its rich farmlands and an historic Main Street, bills itself as “The Heart of Jo Daviess County.” Its Washington Street is lined with lead miners’ cottages, six homes that pre-date the Civil War. Despite the addition of porches and other rooms, each structure retains its original box-like core on a stone foundation. The 1894 Commercial Hotel on Myrtle Street served as the dinner stop for the Chicago Great Western Railway’s overnight train between Chicago and Minneapolis during the 1920s. And the Elizabeth Historical Society’s Chicago Great Western Railway Depot Museum is housed nearby in the restored train depot. From the early to mid-1800s, Galena was a mining, smelting and steam boating center and one of the busiest ports on the Mississippi River. During the Civil War, nine Union Army generals hailed from Galena, including Ulysses S. Grant, later the country’s 18th president. But the arrival of the Illinois Central Railroad in 1854 began the city’s decline and it became a quiet, backwater town. Galena was rediscovered in the 1960s by preservationists who restored her grand old buildings. Now this charming city on the Galena River delights visitors with its 19th century history and architecture. 20 Galena VG 2011.indd 20 6/14/11 10:25 AM lt. ss Hanover Scales Mound A drive down Hanover’s Jefferson Street takes visitors past 19th century buildings housing antiques shops, a costume shop, an art gallery, an ice cream parlor, services, casual pubs and more. The town’s oldest standing building can be found along this thoroughfare…a brick structure that was built in 1844 and now houses a local supermarket. A side trip off onto Monroe Street brings visitors to the United Methodist Church, constructed in 1891, and the Hanover Town Hall. The main portion of this town hall was erected in 1848, with an addition built in 1883. A full 90 percent of the village of Scales Mound is listed in the National Register of Historic Places. Its proximity to the Wisconsin state line and Charles Mound, the highest elevation in Illinois at 1,235 feet, has born the proud slogan: “At the Top of Illinois.” The village was begun in 1853 when the Illinois Central Railroad arrived, with most of the houses built by retired miners and farmers, many from England and Germany. The historic 1885 town hall is now used for a variety of events and an 1870s opera house is a destination wedding venue. Stockton Warren Stockton is the birthplace of the Kraft Corporation, with the first cheese plant opened here by J.L. Kraft in 1914. The building now houses the Stockton Cheese Company, producer of Kraft Swiss cheese. The village also boasts a small but thriving downtown historic district anchored by the Stockton Heritage Museum, in a newly restored 1890s building, and a variety of shops, pubs, a community theatre, lodging properties and services. And a popular local eatery (famous for its homemade pies) boasts its original 1890s tin ceiling and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Northeast along scenic Stagecoach Trail is the Warren commercial district, also listed on the National Register. Warren’s historic downtown now houses a number of antiques shops and cafés. Visitors can stop at the Warren Community Building, a pre-Civil War structure that was once a stagecoach stop and is now used for community events. Nearby, a restored 150-year-old hotel is now a popular restaurant and an 1890s Victorian home serves as a B&B. And Major League outfielder Abner Dalrymple was laid to rest in a local cemetery on Jan. 25, 1939, when he died at the age of 81. 21 Galena VG 2011.indd 21 6/14/11 10:25 AM The Wonders of Jo Daviess County “Who was Jo Daviess?” you might ask. He was a man of courage, wisdom and strength. While his fame was not legendary, it was prominent in northwest Illinois. Born Joseph Hamilton Daviess on March 4, 1774, in Bedford County, Virginia, he moved with his parents to Danville, Kentucky, at a young age. Admitted to the state’s bar in 1795, he went on to serve as the United States district attorney for Kentucky. In 1811, Daviess volunteered to serve in the Indiana militia but was killed later that year while leading a charge against the Indians in the Battle of Tippecanoe. His bravery and intelligence earned him the rank of colonel. Then in 1827, the flow of population into northwest Illinois, mostly into the Galena area lead mines, encouraged the state legislature to form a new county. After much debate, the name “Jo Daviess County” was offered in Daviess’ honor. The picturesque towns of Jo Daviess County offer historic attractions, outdoor recreation, shopping, dining, golf, spas and more. Use the following itinerary, along with the center foldout maps, to make the most of your county tour! day one Journey into the past Start off by touring some of the county’s many historic attractions.
